... who are these people ...

... destroying 'Have I Got News For You'. After the sacking of Angus Deayton (Deaton) in a knee jerk reaction because said Angus had sex - calm down here Pau - with consenting females and was alleged to have snorted - stuff - totally unproven - and the allegees made lots of money selling the story - the story is impossible to prove - or not to prove.

I am also concerned that the first story was told by a prostitute - has she no professional standards? - should she not be severely censored by the professional prostitution bodies - and her license taken away.

... well going back to the show - Boris Johnson - conservative MP - editor of the Spectator - all round good chap - clear proof the PG WodeHouse was in fact writing serious biographical novels - and not the humour books we previously thought. Is Boris as stupid and clumsy as he appears - or his he a clever act?

... anyway Boris demonstrated that he could not read an auto cue - he cannot control the - subdued Paul Merton - note to Jane Lush - this one of the key assets of the show - Paul Merton reacting to a chairman that can control him - mostly - and Boris demonstrated that he can wreck up the structure - by incompetence - or pretended incompetence.

One of the guests Steven K Amos - a brilliant standup - a great actor - see him compare the toughest venue in Britain - Late and Live - in Edinburgh - where drunken Scots, drunken yobs and the drunken care in the community - hurl abuse - and worse at the performers - Steven K - can control them - calm them - and get them eating out of his hand - in the Coliseum - he would have been telling the lions - to sit - and they would sit - and purr - well he just wasn't allowed in the game - as the so called host - was taking all the limelight.

The show was a subdued shambles - and guess what - you're going to have Charles Kennedy on as host soon - these decisions are just unbelievable - is this a deliberate ploy to wreck the show? - has there been political pressure to get the show pulled? - or are the people in charge of the show - from another planet? - or do they think that pals from the Groucho Club - can just walk in.

The show needs the return of Angus Deayton - or someone strong - to control Paul and Ian - and yet smart enough to know when to shut up - when Paul rants. As politically they can't let - well they would have to admit they got it wrong - wouldn't they - they someone like Angela Rippon - who would be good - or someone like Stephen K - experienced in stand up - who could control it - but would be very different from Angus.

and just out of interest who wrote the blurb on the BBC listings website

Another exciting round of the topical news quiz with prince of the put-down Ian Hislop and joker of the pack Paul Merton is not how I would describe the show.

The Sun has obviously lost a brilliant headline writer - but on second thoughts ... erm .. no they haven't.
